More about this artwork

This painting by Pierre Bonnard, titled "Frontal Nude," presents a sketch-like portrayal of a standing female nude figure. The style is loose and expressionistic, with evident quick brushstrokes that add a sense of immediacy and rawness to the work. The figure is centered on a warmly-toned background that enhances the intimacy and softness of the composition.The woman stands frontally towards the viewer, with her hands placed subtly on her body, adding a modest yet self-aware element to her pose. Bonnard's approach emphasizes the naturalness and vulnerability of the figure rather than idealizing her form. His use of light and shadow plays across her contours, emphasizing her form in a way that is both gentle and evocative.The overall effect of the painting is both personal and fleeting, capturing a moment that feels spontaneous and unguarded. Bonnard’s technique, marked by swift and sometimes incomplete lines, allows the viewer’s eye to join in completing the form and brings a dynamic interaction with the depicted subject.

Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947) was a French post-impressionist painter, printmaker, and the leader of the Intimist art movement. He is regarded as one of the greatest colourists of modern art. Together with other young artists in Montmarte, Bonnard co-founded the group known as Les Nabis, translated from the arabic word “prophet”. He was known for a painting style that was very intimate, featuring friends in a garden, nudes, interiors and sunlit objects of everyday life. He began by painting in watercolor, composing scenes and deeply familiarizing himself with the subject, before transferring the composition to canvas. In many of his paintings, his mistress Marthe was the main subject. She was his most important model and was often pictured nude, after 30 years they finally married.
